Description
The Para Beetle, designed by renowned fly fisherman Tom Rosenbauer, is a highly effective terrestrial pattern that imitates beetles—a significant part of a trout's diet, especially during summer months. Its design features a parachute hackle and a bright indicator, enhancing visibility and buoyancy, making it an excellent choice for anglers targeting trout feeding on terrestrial insects.
Pro Tip
When fishing the Para Beetle, focus on grassy banks, undercut edges, and areas with overhanging branches where beetles often fall into the water. Present it with a dead drift for the most natural look, but a subtle twitch every few drifts can imitate a struggling beetle, triggering aggressive strikes.
